He resigns the ministry, marries Pauline, and moves to Switzerland and a tranquil life. On the death of his father he agrees to return home to save the factory, knowing the problems it will bring will change his life completely.

- DirectorVardis MarinakisStarsSofia GeorgovassiliChristos PassalisDespoina BebedeliGreece, 1654. A seriously wounded Janissary arrives at a cloister situated on a cliff, and the sisters take him in and care for him. Sister Anthi, one of those who tends him, falls in love with the soldier and eventually helps him escape. The central focus of the film does not come out of its historical context but is derived from the relationship between the two main characters and, above all, from the quest for freedom and identity for young Anthi. The initially silent sister, hiding a surprising secret, discovers heretofore unknown desires that lead her to a radically altered view of herself.
- DirectorNathaniel DorskyThe experimental filmmaker reflects on the specific moods of the traditional rainy winter in his town of San Francisco, a period of darkness but also of verdant renewal.

- DirectorDeimantas NarkeviciusThe everyday scenes are of both the city and countryside, close-ups of people when they are relaxing, and hard at work, and of big crowds at an official outdoor gathering. The interior views are of private and public spaces. The images are suggestive of the ordering of the people's lives.
- DirectorThe Otolith GroupThe O (organic) Horizon is the top layer of soil composed of decaying organic matter. The O is also a roundabout reference to a Tapovan learning circle, a place of study in a forest clearing enclosed by a symbolic circular boundary. The film is a documentary about Santiniketan, a remote university in West Bengal, founded in 1901 by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore. It is a place where people learn the science and stewardship of nature, spiritual lessons, and artistic practice. The documentary goes round the school, following lessons, discussions, and dances, and outings into nature. The spirit of the movie is that this is an alternative future that humans could look forward to, one where colonialism, greed and violence become the stuff of stories only.
